RE: Boobs (and sex)
Even before the vote selling, curation trails were upvoting their own bullshit to the top. I don't think that it is harmful for members of this community that the trending page is shit. If anything, it slows adoption and gives the ones here more time to acquire some stake.
The problem for me is that we are gifting the little influence we have to people in the community who would sooner sell us a vote than give us it in return for sizeable curation rewards as intended. And these people are continuously harming people by misappropriating reward funds and therefore removing income from deserving content creators. People have families to feed, and they cannot all do that if they cannot afford to buy a vote or are not willing to for moral reasons.
I should add, I do appreciate the sentiment. But, please do not use bidbots again on my posts; or at all if you can help it.
System will always have some problems. One problem will be replaced by another and potentially worse. If you read my blog, you will see I write about how to take money away from these bots. And I am against vote selling or SP delegation. If I do delegate, I will do it to a project which is non-profit or supporting a good initiative with the earnings.
Having said that, I won't use it on your posts. But you see for me there is no way I can reward someone with a meaningful vote without paying someone else to do it. At least for the time being.
